Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon is officially out for the season.
This news is not surprising as Rendon has not played since suffering a leg injury in the team's July 4 matchup against the San Diego Padres.
The injury has impacted his ability to rehab or conduct on-field workouts and manager Phil Nevin finally revealed Saturday that he won't return to the field until 2024.
The recovery has been a saga between Rendon and the Angels. Rendon said on September 15 that the injury had been diagnosed as a fracture "weeks ago," but the Angels repeatedly had said that there was no fracture.
